Whether you’ve got the travel bug or not, it’s imperative that you spend time overseas (more than once!) during your life.

Yes, it can be expensive and yes, we all have commitments with work and family - but the fact is, if you never get out there and experience other countries and cultures for yourself, you are missing out on a huge amount of opportunities.

You’ll get to to tick things off your bucket list. Yoga in Yosemite National Park, anyone?

You’ll learn that comfy clothes are actually the best thing ever. Sneakers all the way.

You’ll have the chance to see some of the world that might not be around forever.

You’ll appreciate the wonder of a good bed in a private room more than ever before.

You’ll realise how capable you are, which is a really empowering thing. You don’t need nobody but you to survive!

You’ll realise it’s the little things that matter the most. Sunset in the mountains, a meal shared with friends, a quick chat with a stranger.

You’ll have a reason to start your own blog. Now you can be like that cool hippie chick you follow!

You don’t want to look back on your life and regret not taking that dream holiday or visiting that epic landmark. We only get one life.
